Chapter 12 Flashcards
To reach constant velocity you must have a net force of
Zero
All objects will get to terminal velocity if
Friction is involved
Newton’s second law
A=Net force/mass or F=ma
When an object is not moving all the forces are
Balanced
When an object is moving but not accelerating
All forces are balanced and the net force equals zero
When there is air resistance the objects net force is
Less than its weight
The air resistance of an object depends on what 2 factors
The surface area (frontal area)
And
The speed of the object
If acceleration equals gravity then?
The object is in free fall
When acceleration is less than gravity what is present
Friction
When acceleration is less than gravity, gravity ______
Decreases
When there is terminal velocity what is present
Friction
When acceleration is equal to gravity _______ increases as time goes on
Velocity
Impulse
Product of force and this time interval
Momentum
P=mv
Kg m/s
Decreasing momentum over a long time will?
Make smaller force results
